Rightmove Property Scraper

Extract Rightmove property listings with clean, structured output for research, monitoring, lead generation, and market analysis. Collect prices, sizes, media, branch details, map data, and listing status from a simple input flow that works with either a Rightmove search URL or a plain-text location.

Features

• Simple input flow — Start with either a Rightmove search URL or a plain-text location such as London, SW1A, or Camden Town.
• Messy URL recovery — Accepts pasted search URLs, SEO-style location pages, and location-like links, then normalizes them automatically.
• Resilient location handling — Resolves broad areas, postcode-style inputs, and many human-friendly location strings without manual lookup.
• Rich listing coverage — Collects pricing, address, bedrooms, bathrooms, size, media, branch details, and listing metadata.
• Clean dataset output — Omits empty fields to keep exports easier to use in spreadsheets, databases, and automations.
• Duplicate-safe collection — Prevents repeat properties within the same run by using stable listing identity checks.
